Ph.D. Post-Doctoral Training Program in Breast Cancer Research

摘要

The training program is designed to graduate well-qualified and highly motivated scientists who will make a career in the breast cancer research field and who will have a strong potential for contributing new research approaches to the breast cancer problem. The students accepted into the program have already entered into different Ph.D. degree granting programs that each have their own guidelines, curriculums, and requirements. The curriculum of the Breast Cancer Training Program extends beyond that of the normal Ph.D. requirements to include didactic classroom teaching, journal clubs, seminars, workshops and mini-symposiums on relevant topics in breast cancer. Additionally, the program provides extensive one-on-one laboratory training in breast cancer research that is committed to the discovery of new fundamentals about the biology of breast cancer and its eventual treatment. The faculty who serve as research mentors have established records of successful training of Ph.D. and M. D./Ph.D. students.
